Describe your race day.

Weather was perfect. Lots of fun. My first half marathon and I ran with my husband and daughter. That was the best part.
Did you PR?

Yes...it was my first half marathon.
How would you describe the course?

Good in the beginning but tough at the end when I was already really spent. It definitely challenged me with the uphill at miles 10-12 and even a little on mile 13.
Tell us about your training.

We don't have hills where we live so we had to drive a bit to find a canyon to run down. I felt ready and ran well.
What advice would you give future runners?

Definitely train on the hills. Up hill and down hill.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We came from California and just enjoyed the scenery and cool weather.
